Last day! ICA Boston

Manifest.AR is an international artists collective working with emergent forms of augmented reality as interventionist public art. The group sees this medium as a way of transforming public space and institutions by installing virtual objects and artworks, which respond to and overlay the configuration of located physical meaning. Manifest.AR has created a virtual exhibition in and around Boston’s Institute of Contemporary Art.

Featured Event:Smarter, Faster, Higher

Human beings are biologically programmed to evolve – to become ‘Smarter, Faster, Higher’. Technology has given us new tools with which to accomplish this end. We can potentially increase our mental capacity by simply opening a laptop. However, as far as we may seem to have come from our roots in the natural world, technology mirrors nature in the way it evolves using replication. Artist Elizabeth Keithline, in collaboration with Jeff Keithline, has created a full scale woven wire installation for the Schwartz Gallery.
